High Recommend

Ryan and Frank assisted me with filing chapter 7 bankruptcy. They were polite, non-judgmental and very clear on each step. The fees were comparable to others I had spoken to yet they seemed to have a better understanding of the law and my situation. I appreciate how they stayed in contact and kept... me updated on my case, which was closed quickly and with no issues. I was terrified going into this process but they were so easy to talk to that I can't believe I hadn't just gotten it over with sooner.

Phenomenal attorney!

I came to Ryan in 2016 facing bankruptcy with $50k of credit card debt. He was able to skillfully negotiate debt settlement for me with 4 different creditors at approximately 40% of what I owed. I am now debt free and my credit score has jumped back to 730 and still rising. Ryan is easy to work wi...th and his services are less expensive than many other bankruptcy attorneys in Grand Rapids. I am truly grateful for his help and highly recommend him to anyone considering bankruptcy.

Great experience in such difficult time for us

I searched online for a bankruptcy attorney and I was impressed by the reviews that Ryan had. All the reviews were correct. He was very helpful to us throughout the whole process. We had many questions, which he answered thoroughly (he would reply to e-mails at night, during the weekend). He is v...ery professional and the whole process went smoothly. Bankruptcy is a very difficult time for anybody, but my husband and I felt that everything was explained to us well. I highly recommend him

Ryan French Beach's Lawyer Endorsements

Endorse Ryan
Amanda Pilar Narvaes headshot
Amanda Narvaes

Chapter 13 bankruptcy lawyer | Oct 10

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. He skillfully represented a debtor in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy case, in which I filed an adversary proceeding on behalf of a creditor. In that case, Mr. Beach was a good advocate for the debtor but also paid careful attention to detail and to pragmatic concerns such that we were able to negotiate a successful settlement, ending the dispute between Mr. Beach's client and mine. I would recommend (and on occasion, have recommended) Mr. Beach to debtors who own businesses or who otherwise anticipate a complicated bankruptcy case."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
